Find Connecticut Movers & 18 Reasons to Love Moving to Connecticut

Connecticut may be one of the smallest states geographically, but its strategic location makes it a great option for relocating and pursuing educational or employment opportunities. Connecticut is the home to Yale University, one of the most respected universities in the world, as well as many other reputable universities and private high schools. In addition, Connecticut has convenient commuting options to New York City, and more affordable housing options than can be found in most New York suburbs. To help you determine whether moving to Connecticut is right for you, I’ve compiled some Connecticut moving pros and cons. Hopefully with this information you’ll be able to make a comfortable and informed decision.

Advantages of Moving to Connecticut

1. Close proximity to New York City
2. Connecticut is one of the few states that allows same-sex marriages
3. Connecticut has many options for affordable health insurance, including government-subsidized options
4. There is a flat 6% sales tax in Connecticut, with no local sales tax, making this a relatively low sales tax as compared with states such as Illinois which have both local and state sales tax.
5. Connecticut is known for having some of the best private schools in the nation for elementary and high school education
6. There are approximately 144 newspapers published in Connecticut, so you’ll never be far behind on the news after moving to Connecticut
7. On the whole, Connecticut has one of the highest per capita incomes in the nation
8. Agriculture, the aircraft industry and education provide the majority of jobs within Connecticut itself

Disadvantages of Moving to Connecticut

1. If you’re a smoker, you may want to reconsider your Connecticut moving plans, as the state has one of the highest taxes on cigarettes in the nation. (Of course, this may be a good excuse to quit!)
2. Connecticut taxes some Social Security income, although 27 other states do not (and others are gradually phasing out this tax)
3. Connecticut only has one major airport, Bradley International Airport
4. Connecticut’s public school system is satisfactory but unremarkable
5. Connecticut has no professional sports teams (except the New England Seawolves of the AFL)
6. If you’re looking for position in computers or finance, you’ll have a hard time finding it in Connecticut

If you do choose to move to Connecticut, it’s worth noting that the state operates a Movers & Warehouseman’s Association of Connecticut, which is a great resource when looking for Connecticut movers. Give them a call or visit their main office to get information about any Connecticut moving companies that you’re considering to ascertain whether the company will be honest and professional. You can also ask the Association for names of additional Connecticut movers that you may not have heard of who have proven to be reliable.
